Do single women live happier and healthier lives?

[shaysh87]

An Australian study of more than 10,000 women in their 70s found that lifelong single women without children had the fewest diagnoses of major illnesses, the healthiest body mass index and were least likely to smoke, compared to married women, or woman who had been married in the past.

Okay... you mean the same Australia that allows COVID-19 Internment Camps !!! That would obviously Value the Reproductive Right over the genetic coded in Identity and fused into Life at Conception in Life. Kill the Elders, lock the rest up in internment camps, and sacrifice the Babies for extra. That's a government who will produce accurate Study... OMG-

Probably because of no stress even though they are lonely

It depends on how the woman handles being single. Can she be alone? Does she feel lonely? Is she depressed?

Marriage rates are at the lowest point in recorded history, and yet women are less happy today than ever before. Interesting, huh?

[shaysh87]

where is the proof that women are least happy than ever before?

[shaysh87]

i think both men and women are less happy right now than ever before. why? because life is currently more expensive than ever before

Not so much. Men's happiness has remained constant or improved slightly while women's happiness declined, both relatively and absolutely.

[shaysh87]

Because women get paid less, more likely to be single parents, more likely to have to work a full time job while raising kids. Women tend to have more responsibilities and frustrations in life.

Lol, sure they do.

[shaysh87]

cost of living is more expensive than ever before. women often have to work full time while coming home to do most of the housework, childcare. Men get to roam free or dedicate themselves to their career. Men also get more respect at work and find it easier to get promoted. Women are also more likely to work in lower paying fields compared to men.

why wouldn't men be happier?

Much of what you've said here is true, except you haven't addressed the 'why'.

In 1960 the percentage of children born out of wedlock was 8%. Today it is more than 44% and rising. This is a direct result of feminist influences and women doing exactly what you're doing here.

It is also true that the cost of living is higher now because our economy has adjusted to the two-incomes-per-household model, and it's very uncommon now for a family to be able to afford to get by on a single income. Why? Because feminists wanted it that way, and now they can't take it back. It wasn't men who asked for any of this.

The only way unmarried women might be happier than married women TODAY is if they stopped having children out of wedlock and with men they don't know will stick around and be good fathers and providers. That is their choice, and they've been choosing very poorly the last 70 years.

Women have brought most of this on themselves, and you are doing them no favors trying to convince them they'll be happier if they stay unmarried... unless you also tell them they should not have children. Good luck with that one.

Yes, the pandemic, the bad economy and inflation have hit everyone hard the last couple of years.
